I was born and raised here in Newport News only lived in Hampton for 2 years. The cost of living is RIDICULOUS! The Traffic is Complete NIGHTMARE and basically unless your military or DOD your S.O.L. Having been a person who went to these schools and am not someone who just moved here. I can honestly say that the majority of the teachers here and school board members are more concerned with a paycheck then the education of my kids.. jobs are here but only if you have the money to go to school or are fresh out of the military they do not pay you for what the cost of living in this area is. as you see reading some of the posts the way people get defensive and pick fights with you over your opinion that's all over this area! Southern MY ASS! I'll take a southern hospitality any day over these ghetto wanna be thugs who ruin any and all public event out here! forget going to a fair or festival even if you dont mind being ran over by pushy people or there bad driving beware of the gun fights in a public family event! my family are looking to relocate due to all of the above. The crime rate is BAD not tolerable but HORRIBLE! Newport news is neck in neck with Norfolk! Do not move here unless your ready to STRUGGLE!
